The name might look like an anagram for Barak Obama, but Oskar Barnack was a leading force behind the first Leica cameras. To celebrate his life there is an award every year: The Oskar Barnack Award. For the first time there is now a public award hosted by I SHOT IT:
There are 10 Leica C Cameras to be given away to anyone who votes! To have a chance of winning one of these cameras, all you need to do is sign in and vote. If you don't have an I SHOT IT account it just takes a few seconds to create an account.
Please take your time to look at the photo sets and use your vote wisely as the winning photographer will win 2500 euros. Each photographer has entered a set of 10 to 12 photos. There are 56 sets of photos over 8 pages ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ). Click on a photo to open the page for that set. When the voting starts on the 1st April ( no joke ), you will see a big voting button on each page containing a set of photos.
Every I SHOT IT member will be able to vote for a maximum of 3 entries.
The 10 voters who win a Leica C Camera will be drawn by lottery. The winners will be notified by email. We wish you luck and hope that you are one of the people to vote for the winning set of photos.
